The Aerial Lift Bridge was lit up in teal this past weekend to raise awareness for ovarian cancer. Along with a (near) full moon, it made for a beautiful display.

The Sullivan cousins were together over the Labor Day weekend. We had them pause from their activities long enough to pose for the annual dock photo. The photo tradition started in 2008. The photos are below, beginning with 2016.

NO…ONE…KNOWS. (read more here)

After we arrived back at our vehicle, we decided continue our journey to Naniboujou Lodge for a few photos by the shore of Lake Superior. We also spent a couple of hours in Grand Marais to enjoy the beauty of the harbor area and check out some shops . Look for DAY 2 (Part 2) soon.
